Chereads / SE7EN: Transcendence / Chapter 28 - Epilogue

Chapter 28 - Epilogue

Life is a crazy and bizarre thing to behold and even more strange to actually live out. My own life has been more interesting than most. Time, and a lot of it, has been spent on trying to understand why this all happened to me. Finally, I realized there was no point in asking that question. The purpose of me having these abilities is much more important and even if I did find out why I was like this, I could not go back and change it.

Matt and Bob are running all the business, now. To be honest, I would shut them all down if it was not for the fact they employed a large number of people and I do not want to make them all jobless.

The family is all looking over their shoulders and either seeing the government following them around or waiting for Baal to show up and take them hostage again. It sounds strange to think about, I am sure, but they do not seem to mind at all. They fill their days as anyone else would, but they just have that extra event they need to keep their eyes out for. It is almost second nature at this point.

The other five are out there somewhere. I can feel them pulling at my insides. Soon it will be time to go out and find them all, pulling us all together into one place. It feels like I have a rope tied around my waste that is constantly feeling a tug in one of several directions. They are all out there and I know finding them will not be easy or safe.

Just like with Delilah and I, they too are being hunted. Although not as strong, the opposites can feel the pull of their counterpart just as I do. Strange, but there will never be a day that goes by that we are not hunted. Often, the thought slips through my mind of what it might be like to live a life without all this comic book fiction, but that was not the hand I was dealt.

Bright as it is in all its wondrous beauty, the world has become a much different place for me. It is still beautiful, but I know now about the overwhelming darkness that lives beside the burning bright light. Those things that torment my dreams and make me wonder if the next day will come or if the darkness will finally consume us all.

There are two of us now running out to collect the other five. We have no idea what is going on yet. Every day we learn a little bit more about why this is happening and where it is going, but never enough to complete the entire puzzle. Knowledge will only help us so much along the way the rest is just to listening and being ready.

Knowing is not always the only truth to be known. I need to follow the path that is now in front of me and figure out what this all means. I get into my library as often as I can to learn anything that is on the shelves, but it does not tell me why I am the way that I am. I have a feeling in the end I will know what is going on with Delilah and I, but until then we will follow where we are led.

No matter, really. She is with me now. Finally, I feel whole inside just by having her next to me. She can light up my world in any darkness and keep me warm through any ice storm. Emptiness once sat in my heart and now the only thing there is Delilah.

When Delilah is with me I feel whole and that is a truth that can never be taken away. I do want to know the reason all of this has happened and I am sure that if you are watching this video you are asking yourself the same questions.

The dreams come and go. The nightmares are all the same as they were. Now everything is a bit more mixed with all the images of the past six in my head floating around. I can see them flash through my mind at this point but I can control how it affects me now.

I cannot see into the future and even if I could I do not think it would be the same from day to day. The future was changed for me to be at this point and I am the one that changed it. To what end I do not know.

I know that something is coming. A feeling of dread and fear wells up inside of me from time to time. I have a nightmare where the entire world is burning and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

In the end the only thing I do know is I have to find the rest of the Seven.
